The correct answer here is C. Water molecules are more free to move, so they will be able to engage in rapid and fluid contact with magma. This is in contrast to fixed continental rock, which may have quick initial heat transfer but which tapers off quickly because the rock is not flexible enough to send cooler rock towards the magma.
